Don't laugh at my squeakness...I can do pullups and pushups like a mother****er. I weighed 142 this morning, but Id like to get down to a leaner, stronger 130. Since Ive started running Ive lost about 4 pounds. I was going to do the velocity diet, but I don't have that kind of dedication and I do wish to retain some bit of a social life. But I am doing 4-5 small, low-carb meals while replacing 2-3 of them with a 200 calorie whey shake--because I am lifting again. Im also limiting my beers to 12-18 (light) a week.

That's still a shitload of alcohol for someone looking to build muscle and lose weight. But it can be done. You have to REALLY watch the calories in the rest of your meals. I'm talking like 200 calorie meals each.
5'6" 130 is really, REALLY small, dude. In any case, I would focus much less on your actual weight, and more on how you look.

Im also thinking about starting the 3-week "Blast my Bench" routine (vain, I know). Anybody heard of this one? thoughts? And finally, Im getting about 100 grams of protein per day. I know it's not 1 gram per pound of body weight, but it's still enough for modest strength gains, right?

Never heard of it. What's the goal? Yes, that's enough protein.
